June 14,1953.....I married my 1948 High School sweetheart"Mitzie"-after returning home from two military years overseas-[one tour]- Korean War; and being discharged as a patient from Fitzsimmons Army Hospital, Denver, Colorado.

Congratulations on the length of your nuptials Frank. I was born 2 months after you got married! The bride and I will be 32 years in August. Life is good...

I have placed a flag in front of any house I have ever owned. A few years ago after my youngest passed, my wife and I built a Farmer's Porch on the front of the house with a memorial piece to our son. The first thing I thought to do after that was to buy some nice flag bunting to hang from the rails of the porch. The flag and bunting make a nice display and if I could figure it out like Chalkline, I'd post a nice picture of a patriotic home in Maine.

Talking about fishing, I remember years back traveling from Bklyn, NY, to Quincy Ma. to fish in 3 man boats (cant remember name of place we went, but they had the greatest all night dinner near by that was always packed and had great food. Caught over 120 fish, including 3 lemon soles. Great times.
